Christian Bale Confirmed to Headline Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs Biopic

Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) penned a screenplay based on Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs biography. For a while, he was all alone on the project, but now he’s being joined by some high-profile friends. A few months ago, Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours) signed on to direct the movie for Sony, and now Christian Bale has officially agreed to portray Steve Jobs.

Sorkin was very enthusiastic about the development, stating that the creative team was looking for the “best actor.” Bale was up against some stiff competition, including Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Bradley Cooper, but many film buffs will agree that Bale and his chameleon-like ability to change mannerisms, body weight, and accents on a dime make him an excellent choice to headline Boyle’s film. From the beginning, we’ve known that Sorkin and Boyle’s biopic would differ from Jobs in its unique structure. As opposed to telling a linear narrative of Jobs’ life (or a period of it, at least), their film will consist of three, 30-minute scenes that play out in real time; chronicling what happened backstage prior to the launch of the first Macintosh computer, the NeXT computer, and the original iPod.
